White-water rafting on Manso to the Chilean border



I got on a mini-bus and drove for two hours with our group to the manso river. We had a second breakfast and then got kitted up in wetsuits and stuff. We got on the water after having our pictures taken and there were some calm parts of the river to practise as it was grade III (not too hard but some of us including me were beginners.). I think our team was pretty good and only two people fell out unintetionally. There was a lot of boat tipping and falling in and we were able to go through some rapids ourselves out of the boat. The rapids had funny names like exorsista and garganta profunda.

We had lunch at a campsite and then had half an hour on the beach by the beautiful green clear water and I went in for another dip. Much colder without a wetsuit!
